65. Drunk Again

Jin Ling, “We are talking about Xue Yang. Was what I said wrong? What did Xue Yang do? He’s worse than scum, and Wei Ying was even more disgusting than him! What do you mean ‘we shouldn’t generalize them’? These monsters are vermin to our world! We should kill, murder, and slaughter every single one of them!”

"A-ling." said Jiang Yanli with clear anger in his tone.

"I'm sorry." Jin Ling could only lower his head.

"Who taught you that?" she asked.

"It was the Jin Sect who always say that in front him that made him believe it. A-niang only talked about how bad and dangerous the demonic cultivation is and also how immoral it is." said Jingyi.

"But, isn't it Jiang Wanyin who told him to kill all those demonic cultivator." said Lan Wangji.

"Yeah, but he rarely talked about this to us. There are also times that a-niang let those demonic cultivator go but not most of the times." said Jingyi.

"But one can call themselves lucky if he did it because he always punished those who use that path.." he added.

"One reason that I know why he did that because he doesn't want them to end up like Wei-daijiu." he said with a shrug.

"But mostly the Jins who told me those. I was raised with their lies when I was there. Jiujiu was strict but at least he never lied to me." said Jin Ling.

"Jiang-jiujiu is the person you can call straightforward and blunt. He express his judgement in his words and action and one can feel insulted but that's just how he is." said Sizhui.

"But Jiang Cheng didn't kill me, right?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"That was just a rumour, a-niang. Jiujiu was there that time when your demonic cultivation backfired so the people thought it was him who ended your life." said Sizhui.

Wen Ning flinched. Wei WuXian gestured for him to stay still. On the other side, Lan JingYi joined in as well, “Why are you being so angry about it? SiZhui did not say that Wei WuXian should not have been killed. He just said that not everyone who cultivates the ghost path is the same type of person as Xue Yang. Did you have to throw things? I did not get to eat that one yet…”

"That time, we didn't understand the whole situation so well." said Sizhui.

"The elders refused to tell us what really happened. A-die never mention such thing while Jiang-jiujiu doesn't want to be reminded of the past." he added.

"You're quite close to you uncle, then?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Mn. Sometimes it was him who take good care of me." answered Sizhui.

"But-." said Wei Wuxian.

"Jingyi is so Jiang Cheng that time. Look at how he give attention to the food that got wasted." laughed Wei Wuxian.

"Just like a-cheng, he throws a fit when he saw someone threw a food." said Jiang Yanli.

"But a-ling, don't be like that again. Such words isn't appropriate for someone at your age to say that." she said and Jin Ling nodded his head.

Jin Ling sneered, “Didn’t he also say that ‘the founder of this path may not have intended harm with it’? Who was ‘the founder of this path’? Go on, tell me, who else could it be except for Wei Ying?! I just can’t seem to understand you. Your GusuLan Sect is also a prominent sect, and back then you also lost quite a number of people in Wei Ying’s hands, didn’t you? Was it hard, killing all those corpses and whatnot that were under his control? Lan Yuan, why are you speaking from such a strange standpoint? From the way you talk, don’t tell me that you’re making excuses for Wei Ying!”
